PANEL 1, FEBRUARY 18: AFTER THE PANDEMIC
Senator Nancy Skinner; Micah Weinberg, CA Forward; Julie Baker, Californians for the Arts; Jot Condie, California Restaurant Association
Moderated by Sonya Sorich, Sacramento Business Journal
What will the workplace look like when the pandemic is over? One report indicates that women made up 100% of the job losses in December, 2020 - why, and what happens now? What will happen to the industries that have been particularly hard-hit, like restaurants and live events/entertainment? And what will be different about work post-pandemic: is working from home the 'new normal'?
The Future of Work is a special online conference that will be presented in four hour-long Zoom presentations held on four successive Thursdays, from Noon-1PM, starting February 18.
These four programs will offer a unique and informative examination of the changing nature of work in California.
The battles over the Dynamex decision, AB5 and Proposition 22 reveal an uncertain landscape for working people. Priced out of the nation’s most expensive housing market, some workers are choosing to leave the state. Manufacturing, once a mainstay of good-paying jobs in California, is in deep decline. Gig work is booming – but is it sustainable? And, a year-long pandemic has devastated many industries – how will they come back? What is the Future of Work in the Golden State?
A score of experts and insiders will provide analysis, opinions and insight - and answer your questions in real time. Attend one panel, or the whole series!
